Reuther. The statements on the unem ployment situation, chiefly in the auto industry, were made at a conference called by Gov. G. Mennen Williams. Attending the meeting were representatives of four auto manufacturing firms and civic officials of eight cities four outside Michigan, and a United Auto Workers delegation headed by Reuther. The auto firm representatives refused to accept invitations to serve on a UAW-proposed "task force" committee to go to Wash ington and seek government ac tion to ease the unemployment damage. They said there was no spe cific plan of action proposed for the "task force" committee. "We have an aversion to going to Washington on a shotgun basis," John S. Bugas, Ford vice president of industrial relations, said. "The government interferes too much anyway." One Agreement But all the auto company spokesmen said they would join in urging quick action on a fed- Twining To Leave For Russia Visit With High Hopes Washington (U.R) Gen. Na than F. Twining heads for Mos cow this week, probably Thurs day, on a dramatic expedition that he believes will have profit able results for the United States. The blunt-spoken chief of the U. S. Air Force expects the first such cold war trip of its kind to produce a "net gain for our side," according to an official who knows Twining's outlook. Accompanied by a team of ex perts in every field of air power. Twining has high hope of re turning to America with some sound new appraisals of Russia's latest air power advances. To Aid Ike's Decision His report to other members of the joint chiefs of staff and the National Security Council will go far in determining wheth er President Eisenhower permits other service leaders to visit Rus sia and the extent to which Rus sians may be invited here. The Twining party plans to arrive in Moscow the afternoon of June 23. The general was in vited on May 29 to come to Rus sia with several officers of his choosing, chiefly to see the June 24 air show at which new devel opments usually are unveiled. : President Eisenhower author ized acceptance of the invitation on May 30. but on June 11 the President said "no" for the mo ment to a Russian informal in quiry as to whether the other military chiefs also would like to come along. tu- Health Association Holds Meeting Here ' Keeping facts regarding berculosis before the public was stressed as the first responsibil ity of the case finding commit tee of the Jackson County Pub lic Health association at a board meeting of the group recently.

Bugas said "within the last 48 hours we have found it necessary at Ford to increase our produc tion schedule of 1956 models" and he said more men will be called back when 1957 model production starts. Chrysler Corp's. director of labor relations, John D. Leary, also said 1957 model production will mean rehiring of laid off workers. He said Chrysler also has encouraging signs of in creased sales of 1956 models. Harry W. Anderson, General Motors vice president in charge of personnel, said GM expects to continue its present pace through the 1956 model year. He said this pace has resulted in rehiring of "more than 7,300 employees" in the midwest since May. Unemployment Rises Williams opened the confer ence by stating Michigan unem ployment stands at more than 200,000 and is expected to reach 280,000 in the "next three or four months." ; Reuther called the- employ ment figures cited by Bugas as "cockeyed" and said the auto 1 makers "can't argue both bogey men." He said they argue on the one hand that employment is on the increase but on the other hand ' that the increased unemployment ; compensation insurance benefits I asked by Williams and backed ! by the UAW would bankrupt j business.
